If a city has a soul, then Chengdu's soul must be: hot pot!

Although when the bottom of the pot is served, you may think that Chengdu people have some misunderstanding about the word "slightly spicy".

Chengdu, a city that is "very popular", has a kind of magic that makes people slow down.

But when eating hot pot, you have to race against time, and it's as tense as a battle.

People in Chengdu can accurately measure the starting and ending of pork and beef tripe.

But in addition to using a sweaty hot pot meal to taste the taste of Chengdu.

Go to the giant panda base to see national treasures, spend an afternoon in a teahouse, queue up to buy snacks and various strings...

In this city, which is famous for its comfort and livability, there are still many things that people can't stop!

01

See the national treasure giant panda once!

What they envy most about Chengdu people is that they can see pandas at their doorstep.

You must know that our national treasure is empty no matter which country we visit.

This "beast" that has existed on earth for 8 million years has now conquered the world by showing cute.

In Japanese zoos, people line up for several hours every day just to watch the pandas for 10 seconds...

The Netherlands spent 7 million euros to build a palace for pandas...

Belgium was afraid that pandas would miss home, so it sent people to sing "Shui Diao Ge Tou" to the pandas during the Mid-Autumn Festival...

Britain is even more exaggerated. Once, the outstanding woman selected by the BBC was actually the panda Tiantian who had just given birth to a baby...

There are also cute panda elements everywhere in the city.

02

Go to People's Park to have tea and spend the afternoon relaxing!

What is Chengdu-style slow life? Probably a cup of tea can last you a day.

Whether they are in a daze while drinking tea or setting up a Longmen Array, Chengdu people can stay in People's Park from morning to night.

No matter how noisy the outside world is, Chengdu's teahouses always maintain their own rhythm.

Like cafes in large cities, they are places where people can relax and relax.

03

Go to Jinli to experience the fireworks of old Chengdu!

Jinli looks like a fireworks from the world, but inside is actually a thousand-year-old culture.

The folk customs of old Chengdu and the long-standing culture of the Three Kingdoms meet in this commercial street.

Colorful lanterns and disguises on both sides create a lively atmosphere.

Whether it's teahouses, inns, restaurants, stage, or modern bars in old Chengdu, there are everything here.

As people stroll around Jinli, they walk through century-old wooden doors and thousand-year-old stone roads.

Or go to Ministores to buy some tea, lanterns, or local specialties...

Or watching clay figurines, sugar paintings, paper-cuts on the street...

04

Take a photo under the red wall of Wuhou Temple!

Wuhou Temple was originally an ancestral temple in memory of Zhuge Liang.

Later, after continuous renovation, it became the most influential Cultural Museum of the Three Kingdoms in the country.

In the eyes of many people, this classical red wall has become a check-in place where large blockages can be produced in minutes.

Whether you are a fan of the Three Kingdoms or a photo enthusiast, Wuhou Temple is a stop that cannot be missed.

05

Go to the wide and narrow alleys to queue up to buy snacks!

Wide and narrow alleys are the most market-oriented places in Chengdu.

The neat blue stone road hides Sichuan-style food and rich culture.

Chengdu's ancient streets and alleys can be said to be as good as Beijing's hutongs.

No matter how commercialized it is, Xiao Bian feels that Kuanzhai Alley is an indispensable stop in Chengdu.

Tourists are crowded with restaurants, bars, food stalls, tea shops, Sichuan opera face-changing, fake bronze figures...

The wide and narrow alleys have a nine-point fireworks atmosphere and a one-point calm charm.

06

Enjoy the comfortable nightlife on Chunxi Road!

Chunxi Road in Chengdu is not only popular among foreign tourists, but also frequented by locals.

Who let everything be here?

The latest brand, established shopping malls that can stand the scrutiny of time, or time-honored snacks in Chengdu...

However, Chunxi Road is not as glamorous as Nanjing Road in Shanghai, and combines the slow-moving temperament of Chengdu.

As night falls and the night breeze blows, the nightlife here is particularly comfortable.

07

Climb the back mountain of Qingcheng once!

The back mountain of Qingcheng Mountain is more secluded than the front mountain.

The air in the mountains is so good that even the process of climbing the mountain has become a kind of enjoyment.

08

Go to Huanglongxi Ancient Town!

Although it is also an ancient town, Huanglong River represents the rich folk customs of Sichuan and Chongqing.

It is different from the gentle temperament of Jiangnan water town.

After listening to the hustle and bustle of the city for a long time, I began to yearn for the tranquility of returning to its original nature in the town.

Time-sensitive teahouses and blue stone streets, and temples filled with incense.

There are also a variety of Sichuan snacks in the alley that you can try one by one:

Sesame cake, yellow spicy diced, steamed pork with rice flour, charred pork knuckle, cold cake, sugar and oil fruit, stone ground bean curd, one noodle...

09

Play mahjong with Chengdu people!

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, whether it is severe cold or scorching heat, nothing can stop Sichuan people from playing mahjong.

The three serious things in Chengdu people's daily life are: basking in the sun, drinking tea, and playing mahjong.

Xiaobian still remembers reading a saying:

"For Chengdu people, the most beautiful thing is not the rainy day, but the eaves where you played mahjong with."

10

Eat bowl chicken and ice noodles once!

If you want to talk about the two delicacies that Chengdu has to eat, the choice of travel fungi is bowl chicken and ice powder.

The reason why Bo Bo chicken is different from ordinary skewers is that the soul is the rattan pepper oil used on it.

It's numb and spicy, but it has a fresh fragrance.

If the spicy impact of Chengdu is too caught off guard, then use a bowl of ice powder to soothe your tongue.

The cool ice powder and red syrup go well with nuts and hawthorn slices.

11

Experience ear picking!

How else can you say that Chengdu people can live and enjoy life? Even small things like picking out ears can develop into a culture.

With many years of experience, the ear picking masters in Chengdu have a unique set of techniques that can make people want to die.

12

Watch a Sichuan opera performance once!

Sichuan Opera is a treasure culture bred in Southwest China.

If you want to see a Sichuan opera performance when you arrive in Chengdu, you don't have to work hard to find it.

Whether it is Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli Commercial Street, or even a hot pot restaurant, there is Sichuan opera performance.

Chengdu's character is really too distinctive.

If Chengdu is personified, it should be like a wandering singer, with a bit of decadent romance in its temperament.

In fact, Xiao Bian feels that falling in love with Chengdu is falling in love with the city's attitude towards life.

Make a cup of tea and have a bowl of skewers, and you will feel miserable.

The most important thing in life is to be happy!
